Highkeep is possibly the single most overrated piece of content in all of Everquest

Title is self explanatory. I have a 2 hour window to play Everquest and I make the mistake of going all the way to HHK to see if I can join a list for the basement group. Lo and behold 8 people are in the list with the average group member going 10 hours strong. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

But that 11th hour is such awesome XP!!

You've just described EverQuest. This is why it is simultaneously the best and worst MMO in the history of MMOs.

who'd have thought people had time off work over Christmas and would want to use it to level their characters.

That's not my argument. I'm just saying it's awful that everyone has to be leveled into one 5 by 5 space for an entire leveling bracket just because of the ZEM.

They do not "have" to be anywhere, they are self-selecting for this one option, and if they were anywhere else, they would definitely get more exp than they get for sitting around for 11 hours waiting for a group. That's embarrassing stupid.

Before anyone considers fixing this, if you do that, all these exp-driven, argumentative, and very stupid people will be forced out and then everyone else has to deal with them. This is the perfect honeypot, they can't resist it, and are willingly locking themselves away in HHK where all they can do is harm to each other. Pretty sure that's like a win-win-win-win-win for everyone else.
